hello all I'm back again with my freezing problem. So I searched around for help everywhere and came across someone that was having the same problem as me and NO! it wasn't an overheating issue, He told me to check into my bios settings and I was wondering...where can i find my bios files (i.e. how do i get into them?) and what could I check in there that would have to do with my computer freezing while gaming and how could i fix it. Thx

How do you know it's not an overheating issue if you don't know how to access the BIOS to check the temperature readings? And if you don't know how to access it, you probably shouldn't be playing around with the settings in the 1st place. Change the wrong setting(s) & your system may not boot again.

Generally, you hit the DEL key during bootup. If the PC continues to boot into Windows, the BIOS is either accessed thru a different key, or you didn't hit the DEL key at the right time. Sometimes there's a message on the POST screen that says, "press ???? to enter SETUP"

???? = the key you're supposed to press. Normally DEL, but it could be F1, F2, F10, etc.

I dont think that was a good idea to tell em that, now hes probally F*ed up some settings in his bios. And fryed his cpu. Lol, like the time when i was younger i tryed to overclock my old pentium 1 cause i thought it would go faster without knowing what was going to happen. I tryed booting up and the old p1 computer never turned on since. :P lol oh well. And thats probally why hes not replying anymore. Nice work. :P We (Hopefully) learn from our mistakes never to do them again...When i look back on that day now i just laugh at how little i knew back then. Every day you learn somthing new.
